Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Solovyov has actually made up his mind as to whether Golovkin’s mission will succeed.

Although Alexander agreed with his statement, he did not intend to use new diplomatic methods. He only issued a note from the port of Kyaktu in accordance with the customary principles of diplomatic missions.

Of course, the wording was much gentler, but Alexander also grasped the fact that Solovyov could speak Chinese, and he was really plucking the wool of a sheep.

Even this matter reached the ears of the queen who was taking care of her children in Tafrid Palace.

Louisa knew about this when Ekaterina and Anna, who loved spreading all kinds of news, came to her palace to play.

"Sister-in-law Lisa, do you know what the emperor has done recently?"

Ekaterina opened her mouth and didn't care what Louisa was thinking. She led her nieces in circles while continuing to talk like this.

It is not surprising that Anna is jealous that her fourth sister is the most favored in the family.

She was so presumptuous that both the emperor's brother and her mother favored her. Even though they were treated equally when it came to her sister-in-law, Anna was the youngest daughter and had to learn how to look at adults at home, while Ekaterina, the older sister, spoke Sometimes I have no sense of propriety, and I am not willing to be bound by etiquette when there are no outsiders, and I always make my own calculations.

It even included the idea that she wanted to marry with the highest status among her sisters.

Louisa's concern about politics is mainly focused on Europe.

Unlike her mother-in-law, she has several sisters who are also becoming queens and duchesses respectively. The younger sister also has plans to marry Hesse, while the eldest sister unexpectedly marries a Polish prince who always wants to have an intimate relationship with her. Czartoryski, therefore, also has a dedicated message channel for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and can probably know what is happening in Europe.

"What else could happen? It's just that His Majesty is ready to intervene in European affairs, but he has not reached an agreement with the British."

The Foreign Secretary is her brother-in-law, and the Deputy Foreign Secretary's wife is her best friend. She still knows the situation in Europe.

When Alexander came to her palace recently, he always sought her explanation. When this man was about to do something big, he was indeed a rare monarch who was so uneasy.

"It's not about the British, it's about China. How do you say that in French?"

"Chine, that's how it's spelled, but there are some differences. The names are different in different countries."

"Sister-in-law, don't talk like this, it feels weird."

If Solovyov saw it, he would probably be surprised, why did he come up with Kong Yiji's pattern?

"Well, let's not talk about spelling. Are we going to establish diplomatic relations with China? His Majesty has mentioned this in the past, but it has never been implemented."

"That's it. However, the ambassador who went there was heard to be Count Golovkin?"

"He is Prince Saltkov's brother-in-law, but this person has always been a bit arrogant."

Louisa, who was very good at concealing her thoughts in public and in conversations with others, believed that the count had shortcomings that were difficult to overcome.

"This is the problem. The emperor summoned that Michael. The content of their conversation was this. The emperor wrote to me."

When Alexander wrote the letter, he was more or less willing to reveal some important news to his sister, and he seemed to realize that his favorite sister particularly liked to pay attention to politics.

It would be normal if Elena, the smartest among the sisters, liked this, but she preferred art to politics, and the husband's family she ultimately chose was also from a remote prince like Mecklenburg.

But Ekaterina, whose brains were no match for those of Maria and Elena, liked this the most. Louisa thought to herself that she really looked a bit like her mother-in-law.

"Then what?"

"Misha is very pessimistic about this mission. He can be said to be the person who knows China best in Petersburg."

Fortunately, Ekaterina didn't speak English. Otherwise, would Solovyov think he knew that much?

"Katya, promise sister-in-law not to pay too much attention to political matters before you get married. You should learn to listen from the sidelines instead of participating in them. This is not appropriate for an unmarried princess. Now if you are willing to be exposed to these things, you need to learn more. Even Maria knows that if we want to become a noble lady, we must be in the inner court."

Well, Maria’s position is still very clear.

For these girls, politics can easily overload their brains, and they do not have enough experience to deal with these problems.

Of course, not every daughter of Queen Mother Maria likes to interfere in politics, but this one is spoiled and somewhat confused about her status.

Moreover, Louisa did not want to talk more about Solovyov, as this would cause a lot of trouble.

But she is still somewhat interested in the Chinese mission. Unknown areas always make people curious.

"But you are very interested. This time the mission sent more than 300 people. There has been no such example in the past!"

“But too many people will make people feel extravagant and wasteful, and the attitude of the Chinese emperor should also describe the size of this mission, and they seem to prefer foreigners to pay tribute rather than equal diplomatic relations. "

"Ah, the same is written in the letter from the emperor. Only the sister-in-law can detect the secret here. If the emperor can't think about it anymore one day, he should come to your palace again. At that time, I think I will Be an aunt for once.”

This princess, who was not very smart, liked children very much, but she preferred to play with the two older children who had already left her. As for the twins, they were not very old. Although they did not have the same father, they were equally cunning.

One was responsible for the scheme, and the other was responsible for acting. If Solovyov knew that these two clever people were like this, he had to say that there must be a deviation.

Because the one responsible for the scheme was Polina, and the one who acted was Svetlana, this was very unscientific.

Louisa even once suspected that Alexander liked the number 4 the most. He preferred the fourth sister among the sisters, and the fourth daughter among the daughters, and sometimes even made trouble for no reason.

When Louisa looked at these girls who were growing up, she thought of how she had played with the six sisters one after another shortly after she married to St. Petersburg, including Olga who died young. If she could grow up, Anna might not be so lonely.

Tsar Paul and the current Queen Mother Maria liked to raise their children in pairs, which is why their children always had a good relationship with each other. Of course, Alexander was special.

"Ania, come with me."

The youngest Sonya has a wet nurse by her side, so she doesn't need Louisa to take care of her all the time. Now she wants to have a good talk with Anna.

She is obviously jealous, especially when she can't get a word in.

"I know what you think. Among you sisters, you are the youngest and you will never get attention."

Seeing Anna like this, Louisa can only be more frank with her.

"But the five of you who are still here, including Olga, when your father is here, although his love for you will be a little biased, it is still fair. I am the same."

Anna is indeed a little transparent. Each sister has someone to take care of her, but she is the only one who is left alone, that is, her two sisters-in-law take care of her, and one of them has returned to her parents' home.

Of course, Louisa is willing to talk to her, which is also to take better care of this girl.

When her sisters-in-law are wronged, she can clearly perceive it, and she can also comfort them one by one.

That's why she can have five senior spies in the palace, although there are only two left because they have been married one after another.

But Anna, who had grown up, was obviously jealous of her unmarried sister. If she continued like this, her psychology might be distorted.

Louisa could think of these things because she had evolved in the court. The head lady also found that the queen's reading hobby was actually more extensive than that of the queen, and she also liked those profound books.

However, her body was too weak, and her interest was also in taking care of children. She didn't like to show up. Otherwise, it would not be surprising that Elizabeth II appeared during the Russian crisis.

Her Russian name was obviously given by the queen who favored her, just like the title of the queen came from the mother of Queen Elizabeth, and they were inherited from each other.

It's just that Louisa was too weak. Although she was very smart, and with the increase of experience, she could see through people's hearts, win over her opponents, and hide her emotions, but she could only appear in the position of queen, not as queen.

There was an unintelligent but strong queen mother above her, which made her very uncomfortable.

But Anna will not be in this court in the future. She will marry abroad. If it is a German prince or a small Italian country, it will be easier for her.

However, the war clouds in Europe are getting heavier and heavier. The future husband's family of Catherine and Anna is full of uncertainties.

"Sister-in-law Lisa, but mother treats you like that, but you always come to comfort us, why?"

"You, the little adult, the youngest girl, always have the most problems, and it's like this."

It's even a bit sharp. Anna is indeed a bit like this.

Luisa continued to hold her hand and explain some things to Anna.

"But the Queen Mother is your mother after all. As a human being, it is inevitable that she will love you more or less. Anya, if you like life in the Tavrid Palace, you can come here often. Tonya and Masha are only a little younger than you, and they are still willing to play with you. If it were Katya, she would still like to pretend to be an adult. Although you are both aunts, they both prefer to be with you because you are very quiet and don't like crowds."

Luisa also sighed after she finished speaking. It seems that the child's personality is also influenced by her mother. She doesn't like social activities. She prefers to read in the palace and find a quiet place to relax her body and mind, rather than a lively scene.

Anna thought about it. At her age, she is like this and can't understand too much.

But she is still relatively free in the palace because she is younger, and the restrictions imposed on her by the tutor are obviously looser than those of her sisters, which allows her to have more time to come to the Tavrid Palace.

"I will come here often. Mother now prefers to watch the fun in the Imperial Village and cares more about my sister. But if we all leave the palace, you, sister-in-law, must take care of yourself."

The child also has a smart side. She thinks long-term, which is another kind of childish talk.

"And Nikolai and Mikhail, you are both going to be brides, and they will also marry wives. That's it, sister-in-law won't be lonely."

Anna didn't say much, she even wanted to talk about the second sister-in-law returning home, but it might hurt Louisa's heart, so she didn't continue.

After the child was calmed down, Louisa did not bother about Catherine. She was playing with her nieces, and she obviously enjoyed being an adult.

No wonder she always liked to express her thoughts in a mature and "calm" tone when writing to Prince Bagration and Prince Mikhail Dolgorukov, and when chatting.

When Louisa saw the two of them and thought about what happened in the palace recently, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Because of the changes in the European situation, Alexander would definitely feel very troubled. In a few days, or even tonight, he would come to the Tavrid Palace.

Some time ago, he went to the villa of the Naryshkin family again. The descendants of the Tatars were of the same clan as the mother of Peter the Great, which reminded Louisa of Empress Dowager Xiao.

She knew that Empress Dowager Xiao was still Solovyov's fault. Since the Russian court was influenced by France, it was inevitable that there would be "China fever", and the general history of China was also a necessary course for the royal family.

Of course, a lot of books and materials need to be collected. Solovyov published an article about the Liao Dynasty in the newspaper based on the origin of the word "Khitan". The content of that article in the newspaper in Petersburg was well received and it is also very suitable for popularizing history.

However, this kind of open pimping, and finally the lover of the Tsar himself, and the queen became a good girlfriend, is not what others can imagine.

Moreover, the Polish girl always comes with Alexander recently, and Louisa is more scared when she thinks about it.

If Alexander knew that the two of them had a good relationship with each other, I don’t know what his attitude would be.

For this elusive Tsar, even as a wife and lover, they can’t fully understand his thoughts.

After sending Catherine and Anna away, the female official from the Winter Palace came to report.

Alexander will come tonight, but not with Maria Naryshkina. He came by carriage, with only a coachman and an adjutant, and his actions are also relatively secretive.

An idea came to Louisa's mind. She even felt that she might have "become a mistress". This feeling was indeed very strange.
